Thank you, Rick!  Glad to have you following along!  ;D

Howdy Bob,

There is a lot to see on the distillery, and your coloring and overall craftsmanship display it well.  Nice build.

Have fun,

My current builds are on the Buffalo Canyon Mining Company's wooden Howe Truss Bridge, and miscellaneous rolling stock .

I like the overall choice of paint colors for the distillery.  They show off the architecture without overwhelming the eye.

Mike

Thanks, Mike!  I really appreciate the comments and having you following along.  I like that Light Avocado color as a trim color against a white building.  I used it before on another structure and was quite pleased with the results.

Thank you, Mike!  It's been a fun little build.  Well, maybe not little.  Mid-sized might be more appropriate.  Another outstanding kit from FOS.

Bob,

Wonderful job on the two structures. I think the distillery will look perfect behind the wharf.

Looks great Bob.  I like the way you did the metal roofing.

Thanks, Tom!  I hope so.  I have to cut some plywood and homosote for the land-based structures of Red Hook and then craft some seawalls.  Then I can start playing around with the arrangement of the structures.  ;)

Thank you, Jerry! I'm always tinkering around with ways to get a somewhat realistic looking metal roof finish.  Rust is fun.  ;D
